Hastings District Libraries

Membership is free to Hastings District Council residents.  We have reciprocal agreements and free membership for Napier and Central Hawke's Bay folk too.  Visitors may also join, on payment of a bond.

You may join at Hastings, Havelock North or Flaxmere Libraries, and your card entitles you to borrow from any of these three libraries. 

Membership gives remote access to our online database.

When you come in to join, you need to bring:

• Personal ID showing your name and signature, e.g. driver's licence
• Proof of your current address, e.g. an invoice

Lost cards can be replaced, but there is a charge for this.  Again ID is required. 

Members over 80 years

All library members over 80 years of age are given a special membership which entitles them to some privileges in ther use of the library.
